Naan Pizza

I mean if you couldn't tell already from the title of this post, I recently made naan pizza and not gonna lie it was one of the most delicious dinners I have ever cooked myself! It was definitely one of the most simple recipes I have ever created and I definitely think its possible to recreate in any college kitchen! Its filling, a great way to clean your vegetable drawer and absolutely deeeeelicious!

Ingredients
Naan (or flatbread)
pasta sauce (any kind just not alfredo)
cheese
any veggies you like on pizza


So make sure you cut up all your vegetables and have them ready to go. Grease your baking sheet and place your naan on it and have them in the oven for 2 minutes on 350 degrees. Just to defrost it and to get it crispy before everything goes on. Then just make it like any other pizza... add the sauce, put your veggies and then add your cheese! I love biting into pizza and having vegetables come with the cheese and not all of the entire top coming off. Pop it back in the oven for about 6 minutes on 350 degrees and then make sure to check on it. If you like your cheese a little crispy then put your oven on broil for two minutes and then make sure to keep an eye on it! I love putting hot sauce on my pizza so definitely keep that on side ready to go for you once you put your pizza on the plate! Let me know how you make yours! The pictures I have are my pizza and my roommates pizza!

Chobani Pancakes

I guess it's safe to say that some things are worth waiting for. After a difficult spring semester of a lot of personal, social, and educational developments - we are back in business. A hungover Saturday morning, a necessity for breakfast and some random cravings brought this delicious recipe together. Its a very classic breakfast necessity but with a sophisticated twist. I guess you could consider my roommates and I some broke college students without the bare necessities in our fridge - milk, and eggs. Chobani pancakes are a great way to kick start your morning, not only can you make delicious fluffy pancakes but you can also add some protein to your breakfast where you might not have thought of it before.

Follow through with any other box mix but don't add the milk or the eggs - add water and a carton of whichever Chobani yogurt you think would be the most delicious. For my roommates,  I used blueberry and strawberry Chobani (in separate batches) and it worked out super well! They are a little less sweet so you might need to add on some syrup on top.

Ingredients
Pancake mix
any flavor of Chobani yogurt
water






In a bowl mix together the pancake mix, your flavor of chobani and water. Make sure the batter is a liquid consistency where you can still be able to pour it onto a hot pan but not liquid where its like running water. Make sure your pan is on medium heat, where you hear a sizzle when the batter hits the pan. Make sure you keep an eye on the pan so it doesn't burn the pancakes! When you start to see air bubbles form on the top of the pancakes, its time to flip! Make sure you are using a greased spatula so you can flip the pancakes properly without ripping them or breaking them in the middle. Enjoy your breakfast and I hope it was delicious as mine!
